This is from my "Top 5 Micro-Cap Auto Stocks" article on RideLust.comhttp://www.ridelust.com/making-money-with-auto-parts-suppliers-investing-behind-the-scenes/

Altair makes and sells lithium ion batteries. That’s the main reason they’re on my list. Their insider ownership isn’t particularly high and they don’t look as obviously solid as the other companies on this list, but if lithium ion batteries become even half as important to the future of the auto industry as I think they will, Altair will do well. This stock has the potential to be either the biggest winner or the biggest loser on this list. Invest with caution.

The big motorcompanies are scrambling to put an alternative fueled vehicle that appeals not only to the consumers' wallets but also their itch for performance. Considering the first to mass roduce such a vehicle is likely to earn a larger piece of market share than the other producers, it seems likely that companies like ALTI will be bought up within the year so long as their is oil price hysteria fueling an immediate demand. I'll venture to speculate ALTI will reach 9-10$ on word of a contract with a major auto manufacturer.

Alti's NanoSafe battery has solved a major problem limiting the use of batteries in electric vehicles. Its battery can be charged within 10 minutes without experiencing run-away overheating. So it is just a matter of time when it will power Pheonix Motor Cars' electric vehicles in commercial production. So far no other battery is able to be charged rapidly in 10 minutes. That is a huge technological advantage and is protected by patents.

With the price of fuel, some government, hopefully the U.S. will realize that replacing all their non-emergency gas-guzzling vehicles with Altair battery-equipped cars is the way to lower fuel prices. Get in on ALTI while the price is right.

I think nanotechnologies are going to explode over the next 5 years. Many of these companies are underpriced and Altair is one. Altair already has strong opportunities with the Lithium Ion Technology, and the potential in this market alone should be enough to send this stock booming. There are several other potential markets for a strong nano company like Altair to conquer.
